Chapter 9: The Deceased

Meng Youyou followed Shopkeeper Xu to the backyard, the three of them sat down next to a round old book, and Shopkeeper Xu poured tea and handed it to her.

"I don't know what to call the girl?" Shopkeeper Xu asked.

"Shopkeeper Xu called me Mengniang. I appreciate the talents of Shopkeeper Xu and Gongzi Gu, I don't know how Shopkeeper Xu plans to cooperate? ”

"Gu Gongzi's talent is naturally nothing to say, we are going to open a ready-to-wear shop, of course Gu Gongzi is responsible for the style design of the clothing, I am responsible for the daily operation of the shop and the sewing of clothing, and Mengniang, you only need to invest in the purchase of the shop and the purchase, the profits and losses of the shop are shared equally between the three of us, what do you think?"

"Shopkeeper Xu's account is really good, I will pay the capital, but you have no profit, so am I not the one who has the least profit?" Meng Youyou knows that this business will definitely be profitable, just this piece of clothing on her body, she can make a lot of money, but she can't let him despise herself, now they are still waiting for her to take the money to do things, of course she has to take the opportunity to raise her value, otherwise there will be no room for her to speak in the future.

"How can there be less profit? Think about it, if our shop is opened, there are unique and fresh styles designed by Gu Gongzi, and I have my experience in running a cloth village and regular customers, then it will definitely be the first profitable business in this capital. ”

"The idea of the shopkeeper Xu is very good, I contributed the capital and made money for everyone to share, but I suffered a loss." Meng Youyou said to Gu Gongzi again: "Gu Gongzi, what do you say?" ”

"Since you pay the money, it should be the big boss, you get four for the profit, and I and the shopkeeper Xu each get three, how about it?" Gu Gongzi replied.

Shopkeeper Xu felt that Gu Gongzi was too easy to speak, but it wasn't much worse when he thought about it, so he nodded: "It's okay, what do you think, Mengniang?" "If you can get 30%, you are also the owner, and it is much better to see the owner's face than when he is a shopkeeper here.

Meng Youyou showed a satisfied smile: "Both of you are sensible people. Now that we've said that, let's make a note, how about it? ”

"Just what I want." Shopkeeper Xu seemed to see a mountain of gold and silver in front of him, and he couldn't stop smiling.

Gu Gongzi looked calm, took out a pen and paper and began to write the contract.

In triplicate, signed and handprinted. A partnership is finalized.

Meng Youyou put away the note signed by the three of them, and took out another title deed. He opened his mouth and said to the shopkeeper Xu: "Shopkeeper Xu, please take a look, this is the title deed of the splendid cloth village, and from today on, the way we cooperate has changed." But before today, we have to settle it out and settle it. ”

When the shopkeeper Xu saw the title deed, his face immediately changed, it turned out that this dream girl was his owner! I bargained with her just now to discuss cooperation! She can't be a pit on herself, right?

"Dream ...... Mengniang, are you the young lady of Xue Mansion? Shopkeeper Xu asked with a little stammer.

"Exactly. I sent someone to pass on you before, and when I heard that you were busy, I came over and took a look myself. This shop, you are running very well, and now with the help of Gu Gongzi, I believe that there will be endless customers and money. ”

"Well, the cooperation we just talked about ......"

"Shopkeeper Xu, oh no, it should be called Boss Xu now, don't worry, since I have signed and pressed my handprint, I will count what I say, and the profits and losses will be divided according to the contract in the future." Meng Youyou gave him a reassuring look, "Can I look at the old ledger now?"

"Of course, I'll get it." With that, he walked out.

Meng Youyou picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, seeing that Gu Gongzi had not spoken, she had no choice but to break the silence and ask, "Where is Gu Gongzi from?" It's so well designed. ”

"You...... Don't remember me? Gu Gongzi asked quietly.

"Have we met?" Meng Youyou was confused, this Gu Gongzi was young and handsome, personable, and talented, if she had seen it, she would definitely have an impression, but she really couldn't remember when she had seen such a person.

"Three years ago, because of the unexpected death of Mrs. Meng, I went to the house of Mrs. Meng to mourn, at that time Miss Meng was heartbroken, and she wanted to go to the lake to follow her business, I saved you."

Yes, three years ago her father had an accident, the carriage fell off the cliff and died, the dream was heartbroken, her mother died because she gave birth to her, fortunately she had a good father to protect her, but her father married Mrs. Wang, has always regarded her as a thorn in the eye, half-brothers and sisters always secretly bullied her, thinking of her father's death, she no longer has anyone to love, she lost the courage to live, wanted to be a hundred, jumped into the lotus pond in the house.

It turned out that he saved her! At that time, she was sinking in the water, and in a daze, she saw a young man jump into the water and swam to her, but she soon drowned unconscious, and she didn't know how she was rescued. When she woke up, no one told her who had saved her, and she was depressed, saddened by her father's death, and never remembered it again.

Now that she remembered, she immediately got up and bowed deeply to Gu Gongzi: "Thank you Gu Gongzi for saving your life back then!" ”

"Dream girl doesn't have to be polite. Back then, Gu Fu was convicted, and it was all up to Mrs. Meng to ask for grace from the saint to leave my life, and the grace of Engong has not had a chance to repay it, who knows that Engong will ......" Gu Gongzi said with a sad face, "When I took the sin to guard the imperial mausoleum, I quietly returned to Beijing after the death of Taifu, and I didn't want to save Miss Dream by coincidence." ”

"Gu Fu? Could it be that you are Gu Nanzhi, the son of An Guogong who was condemned by the Holy Lord because of a 'letter of advice'? "Dream is very surprised. At that time, An Guogong was upright and upright, and he couldn't see some people slandering and confusing the king, so he wrote a letter of advice, who knew that the saint was furious when he saw Long Yan, thinking that An Guogong sarcastically mocked him for being mediocre and incompetent, and condemned An Guogong's family, which is really a pity.

"It's down there. Now that three years have passed, I have been able to return to Beijing, but the Gu Mansion has long been defeated. Now I can only rely on my own hands to make a living. Gu Nanzhi said helplessly.

"Gu Gongzi doesn't have to be depressed, everything will be fine. You have a life-saving grace for me, and if you have any use for me, just tell me, and I will do my best to help. Meng Youyou said sincerely.

"Thank you Miss Dream for your comfort, I wonder how you have been doing in the past few years?" Gu Nanzhi asked with a concerned expression.

"It's not too bad, it's still alive and well." Dream Youyou smiled helplessly.

"When I left in a hurry, I was always relieved, and then I heard that you got married, and I thought I would never have the chance to see each other again, but now I can see you again, it's great." Gu Nanzhi was happy in his heart, and there was a smile on his face.

After a while, the shopkeeper Xu came with a stack of account books and ink, and respectfully handed it to Meng Youyou, and then several people checked the previous accounts one by one, and it didn't take long for the delivery to be completed.

Meng Youyou put away the account books and bills, and solemnly said to the shopkeeper Xu: "Xu Dongjia, I can trust you, and I am full of confidence in our cooperation in the future!" You're going to have to give it your all! ”

"Of course, Dream Big Owner, Gu Dongjia, I will definitely not let you down!" Xu Dongjia smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyes, "But I hope that Mengda Dongjia can often take the time to come and have a look, with you to show everyone the new clothes, are you afraid that the guests will not compete to patronize?" ”

"Okay, I should do my best for our shop, so that our shop will be famous all over the city." After speaking, she turned to look at Gu Nanzhi, "If Gu Gongzi is okay, can you accompany me to other places to have a look?" ”

"Okay, this store has its own boss Xu watching, I have time."
